Website visits on Cyber Monday will break all previous online records, it has revealed. On a single day, there will be 113m visits to e-commerce sites.

“With just four weeks until Christmas, most of us will just have been paid, so Cyber Monday is the day when consumers rush online to do their Christmas shopping,” explained Simon Black, CEO at Sage Pay.

Cyber Monday is traditionally the day that Brits adopt a “spend now, think later” attitude to shopping.
